Some good teams will be left out this year and getting to the final 8 will be tougher than usual.








Bold prediction that teams on that list that won't make it are: Duke, Penn St, Stanford, Princeton, Colorado


Bold prediction indeed. I knew Princeton and Duke were strong programs but I didn't realize how strong.

Duke has made the NCAA Tournament 19 times in the past 22 years.

Princeton has made the NCAA Tournament 23 times in the past 26 years.

I think they will both make it this year.
